HC Deb 12 July 1990 vol 176 c323W
51. Mr. Foulkes

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has any plans to visit the Isle of Man to discuss human rights.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

My right hon. and learned Friend has no plans to visit the Isle of Man for this specific purpose. The island is fully aware of its obligations and these are brought to its attention if necessary. On the outstanding matter of amending Manx law to conform with European Court judgments concerning homosexuality, a Select Committee of the House of Keys was seen by a Minister of State at the Home Office on 11 June.

55. Mr. Holt

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what action he has taken or intends to take in respect of financial scandals on the Isle of Man; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

The control and regulation of the finance sector in the Isle of Man is a domestic matter for the island authorities. We are aware that they have introduced stringent new requirements since the collapse of the Savings Investment Bank in 1982.
